<p>The present invention relates to a composition including thioredoxin 1 as an active ingredient, for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer or pneumonia, and a use thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a composition including thioredoxin 1 as an active ingredient, for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, pneumonia, or ovarian cancer and pneumonia, and also relates to a diagnosis kit, or similar, comprising the composition. According to the present invention, a method for diagnosing ovarian cancer and pneumonia by measuring thioredoxin 1 from the blood uses easily obtainable blood as a clinical specimen, so that the method can diagnose ovarian cancer in a very simple manner without imposing a burden on patients, unlike biopsy-oriented typical methods for diagnosing ovarian cancer, and can also be usefully used in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer because of the high sensitivity and selectivity in diagnosis thereof. Furthermore, in the case of diagnosing pneumonia, since the concentration of thioredoxin 1 is likely to be reduced in pneumonia blood, the present invention can be used as a useful marker for the diagnosis of pneumonia with high selectivity, which enables cancers and non-cancer diseases to be easily distinguished from each other.</p> |
